Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Feb 25, 2011 9:22 am I usually get great advice from here so very grateful in advance. We have the DA through for our renovation of a sunroom (new windows, walls and roof) and new deck. Prob about $100K worth of work. As part of the certifiers report we have been told we need to get an engineers report done. The only thing we see an unusual is the fact we have a box gutter (that is another discussion). The engineer has come back quoting about $3K for drafting including site inspections and a certificate at the end. The council (who we will probably use as certifiers) were quite vague as to whether we even needed engineers plans - they said - 'get an engineer to look at DA plans and sign off on them'....but the engineer came back with this quote. We didn't think our reno was THAT big and dramatic that it required all this extra paperwork and money - are we being niave - or is this standard. This process is exhausting!! Thanks I’m not a structural engineer but I’m free. you still need an engineer for the plans. I only have part of your plans, but you seem to have a 850mm drop from the side… 3 9956 Thanks. I wish there was a youtube video explaining this concept. 10 27173 |
